Tribology: Friction and Wear of Engineering Materials (Metallurgy & Materials Science S.)
Covering both the mechanical and materials aspects of tribology, this accessible text provides the scientific and practical foundations necessary for a thorough understanding of the phenomena of friction, wear and lubrication. With an emphasis on the behaviour of materials, the book compares the tribological behaviour of metals, ceramics and polymers, equipping the reader to make reasoned judgements when confronted by practical problems.


Contents:

Preface * Introduction * Surface topography and surfaces in contact * Friction * Lubricants and lubrication * Sliding wear * Wear by hard particles * Wear and design * Surface engineering in tribology * Materials for bearings * Author index * Subject index.


Brief Description:

Tribology is the scientific study of the interaction between sliding surfaces. This text provides explanations of the phenomena of friction, wear and lubrication, with an emphasis on the behaviour of materials.
